I don't know how much more I can take this. The Sox have been swept by the Rays, lost 5 in a row, and are now 5 1/2 games behind the Yankees (6 games behind the Rays). All the praise I gave Lackey for being the only good pickup the Sox made this offseason went flying out the window as he got lit up for 8 runs over just 3 1/3 innings. That's bad, but it really doesn't matter if the Red Sox aren't going to score more then 2 runs every game. Boston has scored more then 2 runs once out of the last 5 games...sweet.
Ortiz/V-Mart once again didn't have a hit, and the only offense came off a 2 run HR in the 7th by Hermida. This offense is so bad, I really think a big trade is the only way to fix it. V-Mart will eventually get it going, but Ortiz is done, and guys like Beltre, Cameron, Drew are not going to carry this offense.
Ok, so I guess somehow I got to be somewhat positive. After Lackey left the game the Sox put their worst pitchers in the game (Ramirez, Atchison, and Schoeneweis) they combined to pitch 5 2/3 inning of scoreless baseball.
Yea, so I hope you can sleep well with that fact. This team is a fucking mess, and Epstein is really going to have to start looking around the league fast, because this is getting ugly really quick.
